title: [The concept of injury in radiotherapy from the point of view of the expert].
abstract: Starting from different definitions of the term "radiation injuries" published in literature considerations are made to term of injury in medicine generally and in radiotherapy particularly. It is suggested to use the term "radiogenic injury of health" instead of the term "radiation injury" and to speak of "complications in connection with medical application of rays" before causal explanation of the state of affairs.
